Overview

• The Independent released Menomonee Falls Police body-worn camera footage on August 14 capturing officers responding after two men entered the fast-flowing river.
• One man was carried about half a mile downstream by the swift current before rescuers secured him with a flotation device and pulled him ashore.
• The second man clung to the riverbank until officers reached him and hauled him to safety.
• Both men were conscious when transported to a nearby hospital, and officials have not provided further updates on their conditions.
• The dog, named Lulu, was later found unharmed downstream near the family’s vehicle, underscoring the hazards of pet rescues in powerful water currents.
